Utah Summer Games Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

First open water swim. Was crowded, particularly at the start. Water was very merky couldn't see people to draft them. Had a lot of trouble with goggles fogging up, made navigation difficult. Last lap was coming back into the sun so navigation was very difficult with foggy goggles. Overall not bad for first open water experience though.

Put a little more water in googles to help with the fogging problem. Maybe start a little closer to the front.

Not bad getting out of wetsuit. Slowed down because everything had to be bagged in plastic bag to be taken to the finish line.

Put some body glide on my neck. The wetsuit rubbed the back of my neck.

Flet like a rock star on the bike! Passed lots of people and lots of guys. Was in 10th place for women after the bike leg.

Nothing.

Pretty clean transition. Fumbled a little getting shoes on.

Probably need to start practicing getting feet out of shoes while still on bike.

Improved from last sprint race by 4 minutes, but still not competative on the run. Dragging the first half of run, then as run progressed I felt stronger and stronger. Need to really focus on speed training for run.

Run faster.

Proper run pace training.


A little confusing the day before. Finding locations of split transitions was a little difficult, no maps or directions provided at race check-in. Out of state racers kind of treated like second class racers. Race results posted seperately and not broken into age groups. Not eligible for race prizes. Course was very pretty though, water was warm. I will probably do this race again next year.
